Go-kart fabrication, Fast & Furious, and SEMA with Red Beard's Garage

Greg Davis of Red Beard's Garage joins hosts Josh Welton and Rafael Guerrero to talk about his wildly popular YouTube channel, which he uses to teach people how to build and fabricate small engine vehicles like go-karts, minibikes, and side-by-sides. He shares how he started this venture by wanting to build his daughter a go-kart without any prior fabrication and welding experience. He also talks about how the first Fast & Furious movie sparked his interest, fabricating tube chassis for SEMA, expanding his business, some of his most memorable builds, playing Need for Speed, and more. At the top, Josh and the guys talk about Garbage Pail Kids, sketchy go-kart tracks, and Super Mario Kart. Email us at podcast@fmamfg.org with any comments, questions, or suggestions.
